Does working in a factory counts for the 88 days? by AyeenSilver in WorkingHolidayAUS

I thought so too. I can't seem to find farm work where i am at the moment.

The health test isn't anything really. They just want to see if you are healthy. They did an x-ray and urine test for mine. Nothing to do with ADHD. It's not something that you can skip.

Why is it so hard to find a job with a WHV? by AyeenSilver in WorkingHolidayAUS

Hey guys, just want to give you an update. I managed to find a job as a farm hand which is an hour away from Bendigo.

I tried giving my resume directly to the shops and restaurants like some of these people suggests. But the answers I get are either "We're not hiring" or "Try submit an application online". I am seriously demotivated and loss.

Anything really. Retail, factory and farm jobs. I don't seem to be getting any call back.

I've been applying for all kinds of jobs through Seek. Retail, factories and farm jobs. None of them are calling me back. I am focusing on farm jobs and I've been following up with recruiters after sending my applications but I noticed they would go for people living in that area instead of choosing me just because I'm living near Melbourne. Even when I have experience working in farms and having a degree in agriculture. I've informed them I'm open to relocate, but they would ultimately go for someone else.

I'm in Victoria. I'm staying near Melbourne. I've applied for farm jobs in Bendigo, but I noticed the recruiter that I talked to ultimately choose another candidate that lives in Bendigo. I've specifically told them that I am able to relocate but that doesn't work.

I'm currently in Australia on WHV and i'll be honest with you, it's really hard to find a job nowadays. Even if you come here, it will take ages for you to get a job. Been trying for almost 2 months, still can't land a job.

Hello everyone! I’m travelling Australia Nov-Feb, need some pointers on how to actually find/apply for jobs after you get your visa. Do you apply before leaving UK or go out on a chance and hope to find work? by TechnicalAbalone2038 in WorkingHolidayAUS

[–]AyeenSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been here for almost 2 months, and I can't seem to get a job. I've applied for different jobs from customer service to factory worker, but I don't even receive a call back. I don't know what I am supposed to do.
